Best Answer

Bones serve several very important functions:

  1. Sites of attachment for muscles that move your body.
  2. Protecting valuable internal organs like the heart and lungs
  3. Encasing the central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord
  4. Providing the framework that supports the body.
  5. Acting as biomechanical levers to facilitate the movement of muscles
  6. The long bones have marrow that can produce blood cells
  7. Calcium and phosphorous are stored in the bones and released into the blood when needed.
  8. Many other smaller functions exist!
